Conference Realignment Discussion

[TFloss32]

The latest from IT...

- Texas and OU have the votes they need from the SEC, despite A&M's attempted obstruction yesterday.

- we should hear about the voting and more definitive information early next week, all systems go.

- they don't have a specific year for the new league to start, but say it should be sooner than 2025.

Hamilton spoke to a guy who thinks the 2023 season is a logical starting point.

SEC Network wasting no time.

Texas trolling the Ags today.

I was trying to understand if TX and OU would be forced to stay in the big 12 until the grant of media rights expires and I found this interesting article fom 9 years ago. Sounds like the grant of media rights is not nearly as big of a barrier as some think.

I suspect if TX and OU move to the SEC there isn't any reason it couldn't happen in 2022.

This actually looks like a pretty damn good contingency plan to me. Name sucks, though, IMO.

The American...go with that.

I'd give up the LHN for a 6-pack and a bag of Funyuns. I haven't had it since we cut the cord.

So long, Lowell.

[tejasrulz]

Well speaking of the LHN, they sure are running a lot of Texas vs aggy games today.

Agreed, I haven't had it in years and will head to my folks if the game is on that channel.

IT's the home baseball games I'll miss the most.  When not at the Disch, it was my go to.

I think all the SEC baseball games are on ESPN+ if not on SEC network.

The aggys announced departure in the summer of 2011 and were in the SEC for the 2012 football season. Assuming the media partners are good with the move I would guess  2022, not 2023.

Yep.  We aren't doing this to wait around for 4 years until 2025 like Chip Brown is saying.  No way.

I personally love the LHN during baseball season. It’s a God-send 

[J.B. TexasEx]

Will aggy make another "Welcome to the SEC" vid for us and OU? I like the "Go, Cocks" girl best.

 

[drgilbert]

I hate the fact I’ll have to pay extra for ESPN+ to watch games
